Figure 1. Thyroid scintigraphy. 10 minutes after IV injection of 111 MBq
99mTc-pertechnetate, static acquisition of neck was performed in
anterior and anterior oblique views, by a dual head Siemens gamma camera
with a low-energy high-resolution parallel-hole (LEHR-PAR) collimator
(magnification 1; matrix 256 × 256, frame 100 Kc). Study reveals global,
moderate to severe decreased thyroid radiotracer uptake accompanied by
high background activity, compatible with subacute thyroiditis.
